I want your ideas--what would you do if you had about a 12x8 extra space.
Mods---
This is an intentional duplicate post. I want ideas from he TC guys, and the Toy Hauler guys. If you'll indulge me, I'd like to keep both up.
OK, so I've been on this forum for years and almost exclusively in the Truck Campers section. Not long ago, I bought a 24' cargo trailer just to haul my Jeep around in. But while I was out this weekend, I came to the realization I could use the leftover space for much more.
This last weekend out, I figured since I had so much leftover space, I'd throw in a few things. I brought along my Kegerator, and a large sound system (I DJ on the side and we were WAY out in the middle of nowhere-no other campers), so I grabbed a pair of my JBL stacks and a Mackie 1400 watt amp, and my laptop full of tunes and it was great.
So, I want to go to the next level. With the Jeep in the rear, I have a a small space up front, about 12x8, that I'd like to make "the man cave". I went to Home Repot last night and got a remnant piece of brown shag carpet. I also plan to toss my MGD neon sign in there. I'm also maybe thinking a cheap used sofa recliner, that when I'm the road I lift up and strap to the wall, when parked, I put back down on the floor.
For lighting, I picked up diamond plate shop 110v 4' standard shop lights, but use blue LED rope light when the shop lights aren't needed. For power, I have 4 Trojan golf carts through a 1500w inverter in the camper. A Honda EU1000 and the camper's Onan 2500w genny are backups if the batts go low.
Your thoughts/ideas?

My first thought is a moveable wall so you are not restricted to the very front. Kind of an indoor slide. Unload the toys and double your space.
Maybe a dance pole to go with your music!

The engine block and front axle of the jeep is right over the axles of the trailer. It's balanced pretty decent already. Without my WD bars, it still takes my truck about an inch farther down when I'm hitching it all up.

Turn it into a bar, sounds like your on track with the lighting and tunes. Pick a theme and decorate it to match.
2003 Jayco 308fbs eagle 33' tt, towed by a 2003 Ram 3500 slt, quad cab dually, cummins diesel ho, trailer towing package, with 6 speed manual. Hauls better 1/2, 3 kids, myself, and a 2003 ez go clays car.. I have added so far, neon lights, clearance lights, back up lights, black light, lift kit, mud tires, and everything necessary to make the golf cart street legal. It's now ready to spend the winter in the garage for more mods. More neon, strobe lights, alarm, a pa system, maintance, and whatever else that comes along. This golf cart does wheelies and travels thru 7 inches of mud when need be. Two honda eu2000i gens twinned to supply the electrical power. Latest addition an 04 Honda Goldwing.

OK with me.
